Synopsis: Lalita stumbles back to her chaotic apartment after a night out, only to be suffocated by the walls closing in—their thin barriers unable to block out the passionate noises of her neighbors or the deafening silence of her failing relationship.

With Lalita’s world unraveling, she must choose: reclaim her life or let it slip through her fingers.
